I am having trouble reading (opening) messages on some of the other boards (Yahoo). The boards come up and I can see the new messages but when I click on them they never open. Is this me, my computer, my internet provider or is everyone having trouble?
I know I@N thinks we should not read any other board, but I like to look at them occassionally just for kicks. LOL

Check to see if you have any proxy programs or pop-up blockers running. Often, they'll cause these problems.

Hi RB,

There are other boards? LOL!!!

Security settings on your browser may be set too high as well as the David suggestions. Check also the documentation on Firewall, AntiVirus and Adware blockers.

Are you running IE Explorer version 2 SP2? (click help/about internet explorer)
(other versions are similar)

If so, click "tools" / Internet Options / the Security tab / Custom settings,
and scroll down to "use popup blocker" and disable it, and/or scroll
down to "use active scripting" and enable that.

It's more than likely the "active scripting" that you're experiencing
the problem with. As also stated, third party "security" software
can disable active scripting, etc, as well.

OOoops
